Nope, the back case is completely fine. I've had it on and off a few times.

For those who think they have broke their NFC, I dont think you have. Mine didn't work initially but it was because the case was not clicked into place properly. When putting the back case back on most people click all the latches in around the edges. If you just do this then the NFC will more than likely not work. If you press just above the 'S' on the nexus logo on the back case (in the centre) you will feel and hear the final latch locking into place. This then makes the NFC work. Hope this helps people who's NFC is not working.

As for my phone, still no signal. No idea how or why. I'll have to RMA it and hope it goes through OK.

location issue

Network provider stops working after switching Location Settings from 'High accuracy' to 'Device only' and back to 'High accuracy'. Needs device restart in order to get network location updates, again.

Unfortunately this also means that switching Location 'Off' and then 'On' again in Settings has the same effect, since this inevitably cycles though 'Device only'.

Any solution?// advise??
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jamesstott:
For me it was phone network that was the problem

I have had problems with my nexus 5 as well. GPS wouldn't work with High Accuracy setting on. Had to be device only (which worked really well), then when I came indoors again I had to enable high accuracy again then restart the phone.

I live in Norway and bought my phone from play store UK. So I RMAd my first device when I was last back in the UK a couple of weeks ago. I got my new phone and everything worked fantastic with my new handset with my UK sim card (giffgaff).

Came back to Norway, put my Norwegian sim in (network is OneCall) and had the same problems as the first handset. I decided to investigate whether the phone network affected things by getting a sim card for a different phone network. My new sim is Telenor.

With the new Telenor sim the phone works as expected. No problems at all.

No idea why the phone network makes a difference but in my case it has.

there were alot of issues with GPS in the first batch of nexus 5 from google you can call them and have them replace your phone if the issue persists

I can't thank you enough. I thought I'd broken NFC and QI charging but now both work after the final click. :good:

---------- Post added at 11:45 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:37 AM ----------

Could be the recorded locations for the radio masts for that network are inaccurate and therefore throwing out the network based location calculation which does get used (as well as GPS).with high accuracy selected.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blnwp:
I bought mine in the first day of release and didn't notice GPS issues until last week as I don't use my phone for navigation normally. Other use cases are usually covered with Battery saving mode.

After having problem with acquiring lock with GPS for navigation last week, I believe my GPS is broken as it cannot acquire lock in High accuracy or Device only mode. I downloaded GPS Status app and it keeps looking for GPS location for more than 5 minutes (and still not acquire lock) in both modes.

Can anyone suggest me some troubleshooting options? I really don't know whether I can RMA now as it has been about 6 months now.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] motoridersd:
You have a 1 year warranty. Get the RMA process started. Your failure seems worse than what others (including myself) experienced.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blnwp:
Thanks! Currently, I've been testing inside a dense high rise office building. Will try once more outside to see any change.

Thanks a lot for letting me know about 1 year warranty. One point to note is that I broke my display 3 months back and sent it in to LG to replace it. Not sure whether it will have any problem with my RMA.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] motoridersd:
You definitely need to try outside.

I don't think that should be a problem.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blnwp:
Thanks! Will update here once I test outside. I'm in love with this device but this is really a bummer. Guess, I just have to keep relying on my trusted old Lumia 920 for navigation until I get this fixed or replaced.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blnwp:
I just tested it on the way back home from work in a bus. Good news is that phone was able to lock the signal using "Device Only" mode. Bad news is that it took 5 mins to acquire a precise lock on open roads.

And "high accuracy" mode didn't acquire a lock for more than 10 mins and was still using mobile signal to triangulate (indicated by the bigger halo) making it wildly inaccurate for navigation. Hence gave up trying it.

Not sure now whether to RMA or not.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] darkneon2002:
rma, I have more then 5 friends owning a nx5 and none of them are having these issues like us. My rma had been started and I've been struggling since release date with my nx5 and Google support. The disbelief from Google is big but just try what they ask, it will only fix /improve for a day or two and then report back with problems.

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] corythug:
I honestly haven't read much of this thread but I'll contribute my experience. My first had working GPS, but dead pixel. The second seemed wonky GPS wise using maps but I just contributed it to a bad lock as I didn't use nav often. Once it got a bit warmer I attempted to go out geocaching (worldwide scavenger hunt for those unfamiliar). Before this I've used several phones to geocache all worked great. This one however would take forever to lock, minutes even. Once it did my margin of error would by at least 25 meters. Might not seem like much but searching for something in the woods at a 25m radius is very challenging considering all my pervious phones would have a 3m margin of error. Also, to eliminate possible weather obstructions from the equation I compared my phone to my girls moto x right next to mine. Hers was spot on and locked quickly just as all of my androids prior. I have since done another RMA and my GPS locks instantly, stays locked, and has the same margin of error I'm accustomed to, 3m. To sum up, if your experiencing any of these issues or all, its likely a hardware fault. RMA asap.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kresk:
Just as a heads up, I recently downloaded that messaging app "KiK" and it completely messed up my GPS.. In a nutshell here's how it went down. After my sudden GPS woes. I decided to do some trouble shooting by force closing a couple recently installed apps. As soon as I force closed "KiK". My GPS locked instantly. Figured I would mention it. Later all.. Peace.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blnwp:
Thanks. It definitely appears to be hardware related as I factory reset the phone last night and tested it again during my morning commute without any apps except GPS status and still takes very long to lock. Initiating RMA today.

---------- Post added at 10:33 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:31 AM ----------

Thanks. A rogue app is not the problem in my case as I tested it without any apps installed after a factory reset and still have the problem.

Hello guys,

good to see that I'm not alone. Although I have the N5 for almost 5 months now, too, it's just a few weeks ago that I started wondering about the poorly working GPS.

So I think I will RMA it, too. At least now I can argue that it obviously isn't an individual case.

no GPS while 3G on...

Hi everyone!

Bought day one nexus 5 (32gb white) and till now had no issues at all.

By yesterday, while playing ingress, losed GPS signal while mantaining WiFi/data lock. If i put "device only" location mode while being on H+ networks, i cannot fix at all. However if 2g/edge network mode is forced, GPS signal restart working and fixes instantly.

Anyone fixed this? Have to do RMA? Thanks

Ok so I just tried both these apps on the Nexus 5. Both are EXCELLENT (hard to decide which one to choose). However, I have to say "Settings Extended" is great because as nhatters said, you can "use Settings Extended to add toggles to the notification bar." so it does not take room on the homescreen and seems more like stock experience. I think everyone must try both to decide. Thanks again guys =) And they are both free!!!

I did a few nights of googling (much more elusive than your typical google) and I felt confident enough to use qpst. Tomorrow I'm going to stop by a WIND booth and see if their SIM works in my phone.

My first attempt left me with no service at all, which was a bit alarming, but then my second attempt brought back my service. So apparently I did SOMETHING to the radio lol

I'll update tomorrow when I find out if it worked or not. If it worked, I'll post something telling you what I did.

Yeah, whatever I did didn't work :(

I basically went into utms service in qpst and selected all the bands (any BC). The first time I unchecked exclusive access and I got no service, then I rechecked it and it worked again. However I got an error on the write each time....

Edit: and I brought it into Wind and it wasn't working.

Hello folks,

I got a SGS with carbon custom rom. It is running Android 4.2.2 . My battery life is pretty bad, i lose like 30% over night. I already reduced screen brightness but mobile standby still eats a lot of battery.

Would a new kernel solve my issue? Can someone recommend one, please?

Thank you.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jeetu:
It's not kernel. Install gsam Battery Monitor and check which apps are draining your battery. And check your wakelocks .

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tetakpatak:
4.2.2 based ROMs have in general very high battery consumption. On the i9000 4.2.2 gives the very shortest battery life.

CM10.2 works much better, provides around 50% longer battery life and is faster :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ms_green:
Thanks for your answers. I checked battery usage and wakelocks but there are no abnormalities. The highest amount of wake lock is caused by exchange but it doesn't seem to be the culprit of my battery problem. The device is awake only 9% of the time.

I found that mobile data causes the drain. When turning it on and tethering the connection I lose half my battery within 20 minutes. The battery usage is about the same when only using mobile data, without the tether.

I have installed semaphore, it gives me excellent standby times when not using mobile data...(2% over night)

2 questions: would flashing a new modem/radio solve my problem?

Is 4.3 suitable for daily usage? My current ROM is very stable and I wouldn't want to upgrade to 4.3 if it doesn't work well.

Also, I need tethering, does that work on cm10.2?

Thank you :)

UPDATE: I flashed Android 4.3, semaphore kernel and a new modem. I will observe the battery consumption over the next few days.

I have an S4 for myself that I bought in Thailand where I live and everything works great. Two weeks ago I bought a T-Mobile unlocked S4 from a friend who was leaving Thailand and selling everything. The unlocked T-Mobile S4 works great just like my other one except it won't receive 3G here in Thailand, only 2G. I've added the correct APN, double checked everything and I can't figure out anything else to do to get it to receive 3G. Anyone have any other suggestions?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] extrem0:
You need to verify in which frequencies your carrier operates.

I think tmo Galaxy s4 operates in 850*MHz, 1700,1900,2100.

You can also dial *#*#4636#*#*

You'll be able to change if you want Lte, wcdma, Gsm. Try to set in wcdma (preferred).
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] SamStone:
Thanks for the info, I'll give it a try. AIS Thailand, my carrier, uses 2100 so I figured the T-Mobile should get 3G here also. I already went into settings and set it to GSM/WCDMA auto, I didn't see the other setting about WCDMA preferred.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] extrem0:
Try Wcdma only. Was your friend able to use 3g there?

Where are you located? Make sure you are in a 3g coverage area.

Take a look at this:

http://www.sensorly.com/map/2G-3G/TH/Thailand/AIS/gsm_52001
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] SamStone:
Yes we are in a 3G coverage area and my other S4 receives H+ all of the time, it's only the T-Mobile that only receives edge. I'll try the wcdma only.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] SamStone:
Thanks for the suggestions guys but neither one works. When I set it to WCDMA only I can't get an Internet connection at all, I have to revert to the GSM/WCDMA auto to get the Edge connection.
